Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Photographic Evaluation of Wrinkle Severity at 4 Month Follow Up	4 months post last treatment	Blinded evaluators grade photographs using the Fitzpatrick wrinkle severity scale and provide an overall score for each timepoint. The Fitzpatrick wrinkle scale classifies wrinkles on a scale from 1 (mild) to 9 (severe).
Photographic Evaluation of Wrinkle Severity at Baseline	Baseline	Blinded evaluators grade photographs using the Fitzpatrick wrinkle severity scale and provide an overall score for each timepoint. The Fitzpatrick wrinkle scale classifies wrinkles on a scale from 1 (mild) to 9 (severe).
Photographic Evaluation of Wrinkle Severity at 1 Month Follow Up	1 Month Follow Up Post Last Treatment	Blinded evaluators grade photographs using the Fitzpatrick wrinkle severity scale and provide an overall score for each timepoint. The Fitzpatrick wrinkle scale classifies wrinkles on a scale from 1 (mild) to 9 (severe).
Photographic Evaluation of Wrinkle Severity at 3 Month Follow Up	3 Month Follow Up Post Last Treatment	Blinded evaluators grade photographs using the Fitzpatrick wrinkle severity scale and provide an overall score for each timepoint. The Fitzpatrick wrinkle scale classifies wrinkles on a scale from 1 (mild) to 9 (severe).
Photographic Evaluation of Wrinkle Severity at 6 Month Follow Up	6 months post last treatment	Blinded evaluators grade photographs using the Fitzpatrick wrinkle severity scale and provide an overall score for each timepoint. The Fitzpatrick wrinkle scale classifies wrinkles on a scale from 1 (mild) to 9 (severe).
